Everything that I know of, that causes anything like
floating gobs of white mucous
in a pool, is a pain to clean up. Unless you are on restricted water supply, or paying HUGE amounts for water, with a 2,000 gallon pool, it would be MUCH easier to drain and refill, than to try to clean it up.

Read the sticky in this Intex section on Intex start up, and do NOT refill, till you are ready to go!
